#522 - Chapter 522 is back!
"Little ones, follow me!"
"This is Green Origin's headquarters! In the future, you can enjoy roughly the same benefits as Level 2 personnel here. Well, it's not much different from what you had at the oil base."
Wang Yang enthusiastically introduced the place to the children the boss brought back.
At first, he was also surprised. How did the boss end up with so many children after a trip? But then Qin Jin explained, and he understood.
It was a request from the oil base.
Wang Yang could also understand.
He also had children in the main base.
Compared to the dangers that could appear at any moment outside, sending them to the headquarters to attend school was indeed a good choice.
The team members at the branch base were almost all Level personnel, so their children also had the right to attend school at the headquarters.
Among them, the refinery's technical staff mostly had Level 3 status.
Letting their children enter the base headquarters would give them more leverage over them.
Of course, not all personnel there were willing to send their children over. Some still wanted to keep their children by their side, and these were mostly their biological children.
Those willing to send them to headquarters were mostly relatives' children or those entrusted by friends.
Zhang Shusheng had been looking around non-stop since the airship landed. It was his first time seeing such magnificent buildings!
"Jingyi! The walls here are so damn high! Tsk tsk!"
He said to his sister with a face full of excitement.
He was the leader of the group of children sent by Zhushi Shelter to scout the oil base a long time ago. After being caught by Zhang Tiankai, he was locked up in the oil base.
Later, no one from Zhushi Shelter came to ask for them back. As orphans, these children ended up living in the oil base.
Since they knew they had been abandoned by Zhushi Shelter, they didn't insist and quickly embraced the Green Origin oil base.
Especially Zhang Shusheng, this king of children, even regarded Zhang Tiankai as his idol!
During this time, he kept pestering him to learn fighting skills and shooting techniques.
Of course, Zhang Tiankai didn't let him touch a gun. He was just annoyed by the pestering and taught him a few fighting techniques, which made him so happy that he almost called him Dad.
And it was true, they both had the surname Zhang. Wang Bin and many team members at the oil base often joked that Team Zhang had an extra son and daughter, which made him very embarrassed.
The girl Zhang Shusheng was talking to at this time was naturally his biological sister, the little girl who had been hit in the head and fell into a coma after being chased by Zhang Tiankai.
She had long since recovered and integrated into the oil base with her brothers.
Today, this group of children suddenly received news from Team Zhang that they were going to be arranged to study at the base headquarters.
After surprise and reluctance, they finally agreed to follow this big boss back to headquarters on the airship under Zhang Tiankai's stern request.
"Brother! This place is really amazing! Uncle Zhang didn't lie to us!"
Zhang Jingyi was much quieter. Her young face was also full of surprise at this time. It was really the first time for this group of children to see such amazing buildings and so many survivors here.
"Let's listen to Uncle Zhang and study here first. When we learn our skills, we'll go help him!"
This group of children all called Zhang Tiankai Uncle Zhang, naturally because Team Zhang often took the time to play with them and do some sports in his spare time at the oil base.
Besides searching for supplies, there was really not much entertainment in the boring doomsday life. Zhang Tiankai was not like other core team members who were addicted to video games or movies and videos. He preferred to mingle with others.
This group of children was obviously led by Zhang Shusheng. Everyone followed him, looking around curiously at everything in the branch base while walking behind Wang Yang.
After a lot of effort, Wang Yang settled them into one of the large dormitories for ordinary Level 3 personnel.
No more, no less, it just fit these nine children.
"You will live here from now on. The food will be distributed twice a day as I said just now. Line up to receive it yourself. You also need to complete the tasks arranged by the base when there are no classes. You can freely arrange other times, just don't run into some restricted areas."
After Wang Yang simply settled them in, he left on his own.
Leaving behind this group of children from the oil base.
They were about to start their new life here.
Time passed quickly.
After Qin Jin returned to the base, he naturally went back to his office first to review the process of going to the oil base today.
After finding no problems, he took out the information again and devoted himself to the development and study of the base.
It's never too late to learn, and he has begun to realize that this is not just an empty phrase.
Learning does make people more awake and focused, giving them eyes to discover problems and a brain to solve difficulties.
Since the body cannot continue to become stronger for the time being, let the brain become stronger first.
The next day.
A new day arrived.
Last night was another peaceful night.
Unfortunately, today was another unbearably hot day with rising temperatures.
At noon, the base personnel looked at the thermometer placed outside.
Good heavens!
The temperature soared to 57 degrees Celsius!
In this state, the survivors standing outside could feel the burning discomfort in their lungs with just one breath.
Once you stay outdoors in this sun for a long time without protection, you will probably lose your life in less than an hour!
It can already be called the semi-peak state of drought!
The entire Green Origin base, except for some necessary positions, most of the other personnel stayed indoors, and dared not come out easily.
Yesterday, the small residential area once again received a large number of women and children. After receiving the news, more Green Origin outside survivors rushed to send their children and women to the small residential area the day before yesterday and yesterday.
This place can save lives!
As for those male family members, they were not allowed to enter for the time being.
Qin Jin mainly considered that too many people would cause confusion and unnecessary trouble.
After these men sent their children to the small residential area, they could still obtain a considerable amount of clean water by trading points, as long as nothing unexpected happened, they could survive this drought.
Today, all small residential areas will still be open for women and children to enter.
These are the cornerstones of future development, and the current size of the base can still support the addition of these people.
Time flies.
Unknowingly, another day is almost over.
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Jin paced back and forth in the leader's office, feeling a little upset.
Li Bowen and Zhong Yu have been out for a full four days. According to the plan, if all goes well, they should be back at the base today.
"Could it be that they encountered some difficulties? It shouldn't be. Even if there are difficulties, they should be able to quickly solve them and rush back as soon as possible! They all know that staying outside for one more day means one more day of danger!"
"Or should I send Airship No. 2 to look in that direction?"
He did have this plan. Anyway, the airship could fly and work at night. It would be good if he could find Li Bowen and the others or get news.
Just as he was about to go to the branch base to make arrangements, the walkie-talkie in the office rang!
"Boss! Airship No. 1 has entered our Green Origin outer area!"
Qin Jin stopped the steps he was about to take, his face was shocked, and then quickly turned into surprise.
They're back!!
